We recently developed nontoxic, broad-spectrum virucidal gold nanoparticles, less than 10nm sized, modified with sulfonic acids (mesilate) that mimic heparan sulfates.Camostat, a serine protease inhibitor can introduce gold nanoparticles to the influenza virus via ionic bonds.In this study, we examined the ability of a novel sulfonated colloid gold to inhibit the virus in vivo. Thus, camostat-colloid gold is a promising candidate for the development of antiviral drugs to prevent and treat influenza infection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
